    About

    I was in the middle of another baby boy’s jacket, but ran out of yarn and whilst waiting for yarn to arrive from mills, I decided to knit up a simple jumper and use up some of my vast quantity of yarn. I bought 3 different colours of this multi coloured yarn and hoped it would be a self striping yarn, but of the 3 different colours, only one ended up being a self stripe. This just ended up in usual patchy blobs of colour.

    • Circular 3.50mm (US 4) 80cm

    Notes: I have knitted 2 of these sweaters before and find it quite a large sizing.

      What a gorgeous wee jumper, I love the colours and the wee buttons on the shoulder.How gorgeous is Miles.
      I didn't know we were going to have to pay GST on wool from overseas.

      Lyn you whipped this one up quickly. It is very annoying when you run out of yarn. I hope you can match the dyelot.

        My fault with the yarn for the other project. I was at BWM in April & just happily did a ‘grab’ of mainly 200gm balls thinking it would be sufficient for small jumpers! I tend to knit late at night when I can’t sleep & these little projects seem to knit up in no time. Guess we will be buying a lot more Aussie yarn now that GST will be going onto our overseas parcels from 1/7.
